Four Options for RiskBy Lawrence Walsh Print
Hannaford Bros. breach proves, yet again, that there's no such thing as "unbreakable" security.
Both cases demonstrate what organizations can do with risk. There are four options:
- Mitigate: Take steps to prevent security breaches and incidents.
- Defer/assign: Give someone else responsibility to secure your data and infrastructure (such as a managed services provider) or get insurance to cover damages incurred as a result of a breach.
- Accept: Understand and accept that you can only mitigate so much risk and that you will always have some level of exposure.
- Ignore: Simply do nothing.
It could be argued that TJX accepted its risk by choosing not to improve its security, but some would also say that it ignored the risks by not meeting PCI standards. Hannaford mitigated its risk by complying (we assume) with PCI, but the company wasn't completely invincible.
Everyone says that security breaches and identity thefts have real costs. If you believe the Ponemon Institute's figure stating that each compromised record costs $197 to remediate, then the TJX breach should cost $18.5 billion. In reality, remediating the damaged and punitive penalties will cost TJX only around $300 million.
People argue that it's hard to put a price on the damage to a company's reputation for allowing a security breach. Ahem, in the year TJX struggled with its massive breach, its sales were up 7 percent, and its stock price remained stable. In other words, there was no reputational damage.
Incidents like these demonstrate that enterprises need to do what they can to mitigate risks and then accept that a breach is still going to happen. Threats and risk are ubiquitous and evolving. IT systems are inherently flawed and vulnerable, despite the security we put in to protect them. And every enterprise is subject to the human factor: Users and hackers will always find new and innovative ways to break systems, regardless of the protections.
No matter how much money enterprises spend on security, they will never mitigate their security exposure to zero. You can't ignore risk; that's stupid. Everyone should make a reasonable effort to provide an adequate level of protection. That doesn't mean bulletproof security, but there should be enough safeguards to avoid a casual, trivial breach.
At a certain point, enterprises, regulators and users must accept the fact that breaches will happen to everyone. So get comfortable with that concept, because a breach will eventually happen to you, too.

High Stakes: The Employee Engagement GameMay 25, 2010
This is a second in a series of articles on what employers can do NOW to avoid losing the engagement game. The stakes are indeed high: as I reported earlier, turnover can cost between 150%-250% of an employee's salary not to mention the cost of morale as valued talent walks out the door. As you read this article you will discover there is more at stake than the cost of turnover.
What is Engagement?
Towers Perrin defines it as: …"the extent to which employees put discretionary effort into their work, in the form of extra time, brainpower and energy" Gallop says that engaged employees "feel connected, emotionally, socially and even spiritually" to the organization's purpose.
We have all observed teams that beat the odds and win. Some examples include the Butler men's basketball team's performance at the NCAA finals this year or the 'Miracle on Ice' US hockey team in the 1980 Olympics. Research tells us that only between 17% and 29% of employees are actually engaged in their work. Think about it. If only 2-3 players on a basketball or soccer team were actually engaged, how do you think that team would perform? They certainly would not have a winning track record.
So what do athletic teams and teams in the workplace need to do to reach their optimal performance levels? There are two key ingredients:
a. Leadership/Coaching
b. Allowing team members to work from their natural strengths.
What can employers do to engage staff?
1. Provide leadership training. Few people are born with innate leadership capabilities. Leadership is a learned skill. Make certain your leaders are set up for success with ongoing learning opportunities. Here are two key concepts leaders need to learn. They need to take the time to build relationships and trust with each of their direct reports. Whether leaders are co-located or work virtually, they need to spend time getting to know each staff member on a personal basis. Find out what they like to do. Learn about what excites them and increases their energy and commitment. Second, leaders need to support the continuous learning and career ambitions of their staff. This is particularly important for Millennials who are motivated to continuously learn and achieve. One of the biggest complaints we hear from virtual staff is that they feel invisible and ignored. Make certain you have career discussions with your dispersed and global staff.
2. Create a coaching culture. Feedback is a key to establish a continuous learning environment. Managers need to learn how to provide feedback in a way that employees can hear it and benefit from it. Teach managers coaching skills. Millennial staff expect to be coached. Coaching is a skill all managers should acquire.
3. Provide tools to help leaders learn about individual strengths. When people work from their strengths, they are more productive and more satisfied…"employees who have the opportunity to focus on their strengths every day are six times more likely to be engaged in their jobs and more than three times as likely to report having an excellent quality of life."
The research goes on to say that people who are not operating from strengths at work probably: dread coming to work, have more negative than positive interactions with co-workers and customers, tell friends about the lousy company they work for and contribute less creativity to the organization.
An amazing tool that focuses on strengths is the 5 Dynamics Assessment. It is taken online in only 2-5 minutes and provides individuals and leaders with four powerful reports: an individual report, a team profile, a coach report and a colleague report. To learn more about how your leaders and teams can benefit from this exciting tool, email me at: firstname.lastname@example.com
Read more about the 5 Dynamics Assessment
Why bother?
What will your organization gain by focusing on employee engagement?
Highly engaged employees outperform their disengaged colleagues by 20-28% according to the Conference Board. A study of 28 multinational companies by Serota Consulting found that the share price of organizations with highly engaged employees rose by an average of 16% compared with an industry average of 6%.
On the other side of the high stakes coin, there are enormous costs associated with a disengaged workforce. Disengagement can cost between $243-$270 billion dollars a year due to low productivity according to a Gallup poll. In one study by ISR, companies with low levels of employee engagement found that their net profit fell by 1.38% and operating margins fell by 2.01% over a three year period.
In comparison, companies with high levels of engagement found that their operating margins rose by 3.74% over a three-year period.
You do the math. How costly is disengagement? It may not show up directly on the company ledger but the ROI on investing in engagement strategies is significant.
What will your company do now to raise the engagement levels of staff?
What will you do to train your leaders and hold them accountable for engaging staff?
How will you learn more about the strengths of each staff member?

When You Don't See Them, How Do You Lead Them: Virtual Project TeamsMay 13, 2010
Whether you have dispersed teams, global teams or frequent telecommuters, business today is being accomplished in large part by virtual project teams. Here are some suggestions for optimizing the outcomes of your virtual project teams.
You are a project manager. You have inherited 14 employees; only three are co-located. You have been given a high stakes project with a nine-month deadline. What do you do to get your team up and running in high gear? There is no budget for a face-to-face offsite.
Here are some tips to increase the success of your new team:
Tips for Virtual Project Managers:
1. Listen, Learn and Clarify – Too often project managers jump right into the task. Instead, take the time to talk with each person individually. Get to know them. Learn what they perceive of as their strengths; how they can most effectively contribute to the team. Find out what may get in the way of their performing at their optimal level. Understand how they like to be managed. Describe your leadership style and personal idiosyncrasies. Clarify expectations up front. It will save time later on when the project substance needs to flow. It will likely head off unnecessary conflicts or frustrations. Be transparent. Build relationships.
2. Accelerate Team Building – Bring the team together on a teleconference or a video-conference for a team building experience. Team members need to get to know one another in order to establish trust. The more they can learn about the things they have in common the sooner trust can be developed. Did they major in similar studies in college? Do they have kids; do they play a sport? Have they traveled in similar places? While these issues may seem trivial, it is a way for team members to find common ground and bond with one another… which leads to trust. Trust is the one element that may make or break your project results.
Next, be clear about expectations – yours and the expectations of others. Establish team agreements. If an email is sent, how long do people have to respond – 24 hours, 48 hours? Share personal idiosyncrasies: I prefer to get an email so I can think about the problem before responding; others may say: I prefer to be called because I think better spontaneously. I am at my desk by 5 a.m. my time and quit 8 or 9 hours later. It works best to contact me early as I'm not available late in the day. Note down the different preferences and post them on shared space so team members can accommodate one another as much as possible.
3. Learn how to Manage Conflict or Disagreements – Creativity emerges from different perspectives. As the project leader, learn how to both encourage different viewpoints as well as manage them so they become the fuel for new ideas and innovation. In fact, there needs to be a value placed on 'fruitful friction'.
Inevitably, there will be disagreements on your team. That's a good thing. Establish agreements on how to manage disagreements. Who needs to get involved? What is the escalation process? Who makes the decision? How do you insure that this disagreement does not negatively influence the way these individuals relate in the future?
Help your team view disagreements as a way to innovate. Fruitful friction can assist the team to think outside the box.
The Bottom Line
Project leaders have a tendency to jump into the task. It is important to learn that connection comes before content. The task will take care of itself if you and members of the team know one another, trust one another and have taken the upfront time to articulate working agreements. Understand the strengths each member brings, the personal preferences they have for maintaining communication and working together. This will accelerate your team's performance and perhaps even have the project completed before the deadline and under budget!

The process of reviewing and revising approximately 500 policies for the Brush School District is underway.
With help from the Colorado Association of School Boards (CASB), Jeri Hodgson Fleuter and Corrine Sepulveda met with the Board of Education (BOE) last week in a study session to review the process that will take a year to complete.
"Both Corrina and I have a special place in our heart for Brush," Fleuter, who serves as associate executive director of Policy Services, explained, further noting that both previously worked for the school district.
Fleuter was with the district for six years, with Sepulvda employed for 17 years in the district.
"Our purpose here tonight is to talk to you about the process that you're about to participate in to get the board policies current and make them a tool for you to use," Fleuter explained.
"These are important documents…the policies will chart the course of action," she continued. "The district looks to these see what kind of outcomes and goals you want for the kids, the district. Good policies translate throughout the system. Board members come and go, but policies sustain. They give those following in your footsteps those goals to continue to reach for."
Fleuter explained the process involves breaking up the policies by sections with the first three sections of the manual to be returned to the district by the end of October. "CASB will make recommendations to the board, whether to keep some, repeal some. CASB will weed some out, tell the board if it is policy by law or if it is an option and for the board to decide," she explained. "This is your living, working document."
Because of the undertaking and the amount of time involved in updating and overhauling the policies, Fleuter recommended the board not hold three readings in order to approve each of the policies, but rather make a recommendation at the end of the process. "You need to think about how you're going to do this," she stated.
Also during the study session, Superintendent of Schools Dr. Michelle Johnstone provided an update on the lingering situation with Title IX and the Office of Civil Rights (OCR), that has the district seeking ways to comply with the regulation designed to create equal female participation in sports.
According to Dr. Johnstone, a complaint was filed five or six years ago as the Brush District did not offer girls soccer. "We have been working with the Office of Civil Rights to comply," she explained, adding she has requested a list OCR-approved sports.
"We don't know where the target is," she told the board, adding that while cheerleading is approved by CHSSA, it is not approved by the OCR. "OCR had no justification as to why it's not approved," she stated.
Upon recommendation of OCR, a survey was completed involving three points of analysis – surveying female students in grades 8-12, receiving community data, as well as data from the middle and high school.
Of the 447 students attending Brush High School (BHS), Dr. Johnstone reported that 228 are female, with 219 males. Of those, 103 males participate in sports with 84 females involved, excluding cheer and dance.
In gathering information from the City of Brush, the superintendent reported that sports are offered for ages four through 18 in volleyball, basketball, fast pitch softball, soccer and junior golf. From that information, 100 girls and five boys were involved in volleyball; 10 girls and 300 boys participated in basketball; 100 girls were in the softball program, with 20 girls and 40 boys signed up for golf.
In reviewing data from the middle school, and with a student population of 348 – 194 boys; 158 girls – the total number of students participating in athletics was 139.
At the high school level, participation for males was given at 50 percent with female participation at 44 percent. "We have more girls in school than boys, but more boys than girls are participating," Dr. Johnstone said.
Although the district has advertised seeking girls to participate in sports, it continues looking for ways to meet the Title IX/OCR issue, with the superintendent preparing a menu of options to present to the OCR. Among them are to determine the interest in intramural soccer from March 12-April 12; participate in tennis and gymnastics in Fort Morgan, as well as offer "0 Hour" activities of weight and yoga, Zumba and kickboxing for girls before school.
Another idea was to initiate a "D" team in basketball, although there was concern by the board on the lack of other teams for competition. The superintendent also will present rodeo as a sport.
"We need to tip the scale a little bit more in the girls percentage that are participating," she commented.
In other matters, the superintendent mentioned that key influencers for the mill tax levy need to be identified by December 1 and that school visits for community and business persons, along with the DAAC committee will be held November 12 and 13 and December 10 and 11.
CASB starts on policy review; discuss Title IX situation

I accepted an invitation to participate in a blog chain called "The Next Big Thing," and since I don't like to artbitrarily tag people, I'm extending an invitation to anyone who would lke to participate.
The idea is to answer 10 questions about your WIP or a new project and in turn "tag" 5 other writers who will write posts on their blogs.
My post will be up on this blog during the week of 11/26 – 12/02, so yours (which I'd link to) would be any time the following week, 12/03 – 12/09. You'd then invite 5 authors to do the same thing you're doing, & link to their blogs, as well as back to mine (as the one who invited you to partake). Obviously, I'll be linking to your blogs rather than the specific posts since those won't be up yet when I post mine.
In step form:
1. I write a blog answering the interview questions, and put links to your blog (and 4 others whom I invite). I also credit the blogger who invited me.
2. You write a blog answering those questions and put links to 5 others of your choice, as well as linking back to my blog. (All our blogs will follow the same format, so when mine is posted, you will be able to see how to format yours.)
You are now finished!
3. The 5 authors you invite answer the questions; each one puts that blog up the week after yours goes up (yours would post the week of 12/03 – 12/09; theirs go up the following week) and each one credits you as the inviter & puts a link to your blog.
4. They in turn, tag 5 other authors, & the cycle continues.
So, you're done once you put your own blog up and list your 5 authors.
The idea is that each person gets shouted out a) as an invited author, and then b) 5 times as the one who invited.
Would you be interested in taking part? The questions are below.
Ten Interview Questions for the Next Big Thing:
What is your working title of your book?
Where did the idea come from for the book?
What genre does your book fall under?
Which actors would you choose to play your characters in a movie rendition?
What is the one-sentence synopsis of your book?
Will your book be self-published or represented by an agency?
How long did it take you to write the first draft of your manuscript?
What other books would you compare this story to within your genre?
Who or what inspired you to write this book?
What else about your book might pique the reader's interest?
Leave a comment if you'd like to take part in this blog chain. Nothing dire will happen to you if you don't participate, of course, since this isn't anything like a chain letter, but saying yes might get you a few new readers.

At 28,000 square feet, the San Diego Model Railroad Museum is the world's largest operating model railroad museum. This unique museum contains four enormous scale and model layouts, built by separate clubs, which depict railroads of the Southwest in O, HO, and N scales. In addition, the San Diego Model Railroad Museum features a Toy Train Gallery with an interactive Lionel layout for children and state-of-the-art theater lighting.
The mission of the San Diego Model Railroad Museum is to preserve the heritage of railroading through a series of miniature representations of California railroads, as well as research and preserve the history of model railroading. A main component of our mission is to educate the public on the history and aspects of railroading. It is our goal to actively engage people from every community and demographic, to delight and teach the art of model railroading and the history of railroads. Model railroading has a rich history in San Diego, particularly in Balboa Park. Its origins in the park can be traced back to the 1935 California Pacific International Exposition when legendary model railroader Minton Cronkite was asked by the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway Company to build a replica of the AT&SF railroad system in the Ford Building, the present day Air and Space museum. Today, the San Diego Model Railroad Museum is proud to have pieces from that original display in our permanent collection.
With highly detailed recreations of beautiful train routes, including Tehachapi Pass, the Cabrillo Southwester, San Diego and Arizona Eastern and the Pacific Desert Lines, the Model Railroad Museum offers a eagle's eye view of some of the most stunning of landscapes.

"We make components that go into other devices. If we do it right, no one ever notices our product." That touch of humility masks the obvious pride that Value Plastics and its operations v.p., John Gibson, take in doing one thing and doing it well. The 45-year-old company has always specialized in plastic fluid connectors, couplings, and fittings. It makes more than 4000 tubing connectors, quick-connect fittings, luer fittings, check valves, sanitary fittings/couplers, and the like.
Most of its products, typically costing under a dollar apiece, go into medical and diagnostic equipment costing tens of thousands of dollars, or into their consumable tube sets. The company's products are shipped from its plant in Fort Collins, Colo., to Europe, South America, and the Asia/Pacific region. "We are proud to have kept this manufacturing in Colorado," Gibson says. While not giving out sales figures, he asserts that "our business growth is outpacing that of the markets we serve."
Featured Content
There's no exact formula for that kind of success. In the case of Value Plastics, the key terms in the equation are innovative product development, customer service, quality assurance, employee training, automation, and data-driven production management.
Value Plastics was started, literally, in a garage. The original founder had been working for Norgren, a Denver-area specialist in motion and fluid control technologies. He was familiar with brass fittings used in hose connections and had some background in plastics molding. So he believed he could improve on the design and performance using plastics. Typical multi-barbed connectors have a parting line down the middle, which interferes with proper sealing and compromises retention. So, in 1968 Value Plastics was launched to make a better plastic connector.
The firm pioneered the single-barb concept, with the barb created by a mold insert, producing a smooth sealing surface and higher tensile pull capability. This has been the foundation of the company's tube connector line ever since.
That business is more than 85% healthcare related—medical devices and biotech processing in the pharmaceuticals industry. The rest is light industrial markets, such as inkjet printers and pneumatics.
"One of our big launching pads was in the early 1980s with the need for improved sterility and cleanliness of medical fluid connections and the rise of single-use consumables," says Riley Phipps, manager of business development and design services. "That created a need for cost-effective medical luer connectors that were disposable, eliminating the need for the critical levels of sterilization that accompanied reuse." Plastics neatly fitted the bill.
Today, Value Plastics, Inc. has around 100 employees and a 40,000-ft2 plant. The company had 30 injection machines in 2011, a number that has grown since then, which is all Gibson is allowed to say about production capacity. Its machines are mostly under 100 tons, and for the past 17 years, the company has focused on all-electric machines for their repeatability and cleanliness. Energy savings are icing on the cake, Gibson says. The company also has one Engel two-shot machine, which it is using to explore development of products utilizing hard/soft overmolding.
Typical Value Plastics products are small, weighing on average 1-2 grams, though some are much bigger.. The company's "big three" materials are PP, nylon, and PC, followed by PVDF, ABS, acetal, and acrylic.
In mid-2011, Value Plastics was acquired by Nordson Corp. of Westlake, Ohio, a $1.3-billion global producer of precision dispensing equipment for adhesives, sealants, coatings, and other materials. "Very exciting" is how Gibson sees the resulting opportunities for Value Plastics. "They are strategic owners, not looking at the short term. They have deep roots in the U.S., high-quality products, and high-quality customer service."
Adds Phipps, "They can help us with international sales and distribution resources, insights, and strategies, as well as expanding into other market areas."
"We are in many regards a niche manufacturer, with a few direct and other indirect competitors," says Gibson. Some of those indirect competitors are its own customers—or potential customers—the medical device producers, some of which have their own in-house captive molding of plastic fittings and connectors.
Says Phipps, "We have lost business on occasion to our own customers, only to get it back a couple of years later. At times, our customers' captive operations have bid against us and we still managed to win the business—which says a lot about the value we bring."
"For many device manufacturers, the fluid connections are often an afterthought," adds Gibson. "The components look small and simple, but it's not as easy as it looks. What we offer is 40 years of experience and ready access to design and manufacturing engineers. Choosing whether to make or buy fluid connectors is not always based on the component cost—not when the cost of failure of the OEM product is so high. They don't want a $10,000 or $100,000 device to fail because of a 20¢ fitting."
One way to keep customers from becoming competitors is by giving them confidence in the quality of supplied components—"assuring them that we won't add risk to their product," as Gibson puts it. "As a component supplier, we're not FDA regulated but are ISO 9001:2008 certified and have invested heavily in a quality management system that's modeled on FDA's GMP [Good Manufacturing Practice]. We are audited regularly by customers—often to ISO 13485 standards," the international quality standard for medical product manufacturing.
Notes marketing communications manager Will Kiff Stone, "Our Quality Dept. performs internal audits on every department throughout our organization to ensure adherence to our quality process and to identify opportunities for improvement."
All production and packaging is in an ISO Class 8 cleanroom environment. Materials storage and drying is in a separate room, with automated conveying to the machines, so there are no bins or gaylords in the molding area. All materials used have lot traceability. Value Plastics uses no regrind—it sells its scrap back to the resin manufacturers for distribution to secondary markets.
Gibson also stresses that "we are meticulous about mold maintenance. We will pull down a mold even in mid-run to check that everything is in good shape." Value Plastics does all its own mold maintenance and repairs and uses only hardened-steel tools. "Some of them have run for as long as 20 million cycles," says Gibson.
The molds range from one to 32 cavities, and most have moving slides or other actions. Value Plastics maintains tight tolerances, from ±1 mil to 20 mils. "We have very tight standards for gate vestige, flash, etc.—more than most people," Gibson notes. "We reject standing flash of 2-3 mils, which other people wouldn't notice."
Customer service is another key element in the company's formula for success. "We have a big mix of large and small lots," Gibson says. "We mold millions of parts a month, but some products sell only hundreds of units per year and some in the millions. We are nimble. We grew up as a service business. We create dozens of new products and product lines every year. We have a 3D printer that we use daily in developing new products. About 10% of our business is custom-designed products to fit a particular customer need."
As a result, Value Plastics changes molds daily, on average, for every machine, though some jobs do run for several days. The firm uses no specialized quick-mold-change system. Instead, it relies on standardized mold bases and all-electronic documentation of mold setups, maintenance records, and tool configurations—as well as extensive training of its technicians.
Automation is another strategy for quality and efficiency. Value Plastics' molds are subgated for automatic separation of parts and runners. All the injection machines are outfitted with sprue pickers, and many have robots—often of them 4-axis CNC types that can assist with press-side assembly or packing, or perhaps provide a wrist action for tricky demolding situations.
All machines run unattended 24/7. Value Plastics runs a modified single shift with spread-out hours, so that people cover the plant for 10-11 hours a day. The rest of the time, it's "lights out."
"We have an information-rich environment here," says Gibson. It starts with Fanuc's Mold 24i process monitoring on the machines. LCD displays all over the plant indicate machine status at a glance, even from a distance. An ERP system integrates all production monitoring, scheduling, orders, and shipping. "We have a culture of using the ERP resources, which are deployed all over the shop floor. We use handheld devices to scan barcodes for shop orders and packaged products. The barcode follows the product from order to shipping. Nobody ever types in a lot or order number, so there's never a mistaken identification."
"We have a completely paperless environment," says Stone. "Process technicians push carts with laptops. Engineers and setup and assembly personnel all use laptops on the job. And their ERP inputs and updates are shared in real time with the rest of the organization."
"What's atypical about us is that we have a very capable and business-centric IT staff in-house," says Phipps. "They're always at the table for our discussions, from sales to manufacturing and continuous improvement."
"We also have a very robust intranet," adds Gibson. "We've defined acceptable ranges for everything, which are distilled down to a color-coded dashboard—green/yellow/red. We use that in every discipline, from scrap levels to on-time deliveries. We get reports, for example, on scrap levels and causes, which tell us whether there is a particular part, process, or material causing problems that is an opportunity for continuous improvement."
He emphasizes that the firm's data-driven culture focuses on real-time analysis, "rather than scheduling a meeting to sit down and go over yesterday's or last week's numbers."
Adds Stone, "We have hundreds of position-specific work instructions in our document management system. This helps to make sure every employee is properly trained and empowered to succeed.'
"We're very employee-centric," says Stone. "We have a very rigorous training program. We require that every permanent new hire complete this training loop, which consists of sitting with every department manager throughout the company so that the individual gets a beginning-to-end vision of how the company operates and where and how they themselves contribute to the overall success of the business. This also promotes awareness of our focus on efficiency, and we actively encourage employees to offer suggestions of further efficiencies, even if outside their department and role.
"We also have a Department Training Matrix. All departments operate from the same training matrix document, where we have identified over 460 individual training requirements for the various positions here. These range from the macro to micro levels and span on-the-job training, web-based training, and offsite classes. Of these 460, over 50% are on-the-job training requirements, much like formal apprenticeships. Some positions can complete our training requirements within a week, while more technical positions can take as long as a year to become fully trained."

Act I
Scene 1
Prince Siegfried and his friends are celebrating his coming-of-age. The Queen gives him a crossbow and reminds him that the time has come to consider marriage. At the ball tomorrow he must choose a bride. Night falls. The guests depart. Siegfried is tormented by forebodings that are unclear. Seeing a flock of white swans in the sky the Prince sets out for the lake.
Scene 2
A lake in a forest glade. On coming ashore the swans are transformed into girls and Siegfried drops his crossbow, staggered by the beauty of the Swan Queen. Odette tells him that the swan-maidens are under the power of the evil sorcerer von Rothbart and only the power of wholehearted love can undo the magic spell. Siegfried swears eternal love to Odette.
Act II
A ball at the castle. One after another, beauties from different countries appear before the Prince, but not one of them can grasp his attention. Siegfried's heart belongs to Odette. The sounds of a fanfare announce the arrival of more guests. Disguised as a noble knight, von Rothbart enters, and with him is his daughter Odile. Siegfried is struck dumb – this beautiful maiden is exactly like Odette! Odile gives the Prince no time to come to his senses, she lures and bewitches him, and the Prince is so attracted that he declares his love for her. Von Rothbart is triumphant. Understanding the full horror of the deception of which he has been the victim, Siegfried rushes to the lake and to Odette.
Act III
Night. The shore of the lake. Odette is telling her friends about von Rothbart's villainy and Siegfried's betrayal. The Prince appears and begs her forgiveness. Black swans sent by von Rothbart attempt to separate the lovers, but Siegfried defeats the sorcerer. The powers of evil are at an end and the rays of the rising sun bring life, love and happiness...

The Central Connecticut men's track and field team opened its outdoor season with a win on Saturday in CCSU's first meet on the campus in New Britain, CT since the early 1970s. Freshman Colin Sauter kicked off the historic event with a USATF Jr. Championship qualifying performance of 32:08.55 in the 10,000m.
In addition to Sauter's win, the Blue Devils posted several other gold-medal performances, including two from sophomore Kendall Walker. Walker claimed the title in both the 100 and 200 meter dash events, crossing the finish line in 11.02 and 22.55 seconds, respectively.
In the 200m, Walker was followed by juniors Jamie Tobias and Chris Savvidou who finished back-to-back in third and fourth with times of 23.22 and 23.23, respectively.
Junior Jamal Fruster had an impressive showing in the 400m dash, crossing the finish line first in 49.18 seconds. The Blue Devils finished one-two-three in the event with freshman Tommy Pytel (50.68) and Savvidou (51.14) taking the other podium spots.
Senior Craig Hunt topped the 5,000m field with his time of 14:57.00 and was the only runner to finish under the 15-minute mark. Junior Patrick Hubbell came in second in the event, crossing the line in 15:17.00.
In the 4x400m relay, CCSU claimed first and third with times of 3:25.60 and 3:39.68. The first squad consisted of Fruster, junior Ryan Budd, sophomore Malcolm Connor and freshman Zach Andrews while the second was made up of Pytel, junior Joey Farrington and freshmen Jamil Ferguson and David Gomes.
Farrington also performed well in the 800m run, coming in second in a field of 21 runners. The junior finished the race in a time of 1:59.10. Ferguson also raced the 800m, placing 13th in the field in 2:04.25.
In the field events, Tobias took the high jump title, clearing a height of 1.95 meters and was followed by freshman Malik Gordon in third with 1.85m.
Junior Michael Ficorilli finished fifth in the shot put (12.98m) and sixth in the discus (38.04m) while freshman Jeremy Willis earned fourth in his first career outdoor meet in the javelin. Willis threw for 52.26 meters.
The Blue Devils are scheduled to continue outdoor competition at Monmouth on March, 29.

Centerfield Influx.
It is a daunting task replacing an icon. Just ask Rich Becker. He was the first full-time centerfielder after several attempts were made to insert wayward journeymen into the role following the Kirby Puckett era. The Twins find themselves in a similar situation to what played out during the 1994-1995 seasons. For those two seasons it was a tumultuous time for the Twins, Hrbek had announced his retirement effective at the end of the '94 season and Kirby was not able to cover as much ground as he once did. Like the franchise's modern day version, the 1994 Twins did not seem to have a replacement for the bulbous future Hall of Famer. Some believed that a double-A product Richard Godhard Becker was the right candidate. Others thought they needed a temporary solution to provide more seasoning to Becker and other internal candidates.
In the strike-shortened 1994 season, Puckett was displaced from center by a committee fronted by Alex Cole (who played in 84 games in center), Shane Mack (24 games) and a 22-year-old Rich Becker (23 games). Shane Mack's preseason DL stint allowed for both Becker and Cole to have opportunities to win a full-time position. Becker started as the opening day centerfielder but was sent back to triple-A after returning from the disabled list in June. His highest level prior to the majors had been double-A and it began to show. Cole began to play well enough to convince MacPhail and the front office that he could play center field, which also allowed Becker more conditioning in the minor (whose numbers were steadily declining offensively). Various injuries to Cole (with a broken leg finale) led to Becker's return to centerfield in June 1995 which was his until after the 1997 season when Becker was traded to the Mets and the Twins signed Otis Nixon to bridge the position until the next prospect (Torii Hunter in 1999) could develop.
The Twins searched for replacements before the 1994 season since Rich Becker (AA) and Torii Hunter (low-A) were viewed as light-years away from being major league ready. One player identified was Alex Cole, a journeyman centerfielder who had most recently played with the Colorado Rockies after being selected in the 1992 expansion draft. (This acquisition was one of the last free agent bargains inked by Andy MacPhail prior to Terry Ryan assuming the general manager role for the Twins following the return of baseball post-strike in 1995.)
Cole, after being shuffled from the Pirates, Cardinals and Padres organizations, made his major league debut with Cleveland in 1990. He was called up in July and dispite playing in only 63 games that season he stole 40 bases (caught in only 8 attempts) and hit .300/.379/.359. He showed good plate discipline for a 24-year-old walking 28 times (10.9% bb%) and striking out in only 38 (14.8% k%). His production peaked in his second season as is ability to get on base greatly reduced thereafter. Cole was traded to Pittsburgh but he became the first centerfielder in Rockies history and managed to cover significant ground in the expansive Mile High outfield. The Rockies front office hated his mental lapses such as repeatedly threw the ball to the wrong bases and often missing cut-off men. One play inparticular stands out in Denver fans memories when Cole was tracking a ball deep to center and scaled the wall only to have the ball bounce off of his back. In addition to being a blooper reel with the Rockies, Cole was also a reporter's dream making Rickey Henderson appear somewhat coherent. Once in the lobby of an Atlanta hotel, Cole sought out the Denver Post's Woody Paige and said "Myself made a great try on that long ball. Why are you knocking myself? Anybody can throw to the wrong base once."
Cole signed with the Twins (choosing them over the Tigers and Indians) just before spring training in 1994 to a minor league contract. The former Rockie proved to be swift, stealing 8 bases and breaking the previous Twins spring training stolen base record (7) shared by Rod Carew and Al Newman. This speed led to the decision to bring Cole north as the 4th outfielder. Offensively, it proved to be a good decision as Cole got off to a fast start hitting .329/.444/.476 in the month of April. He also walked in 17% of his plate appearances solidifying the lead-off spot. Unfortunately, the same defensive maladies that made him a liability to the Rockies was afflicting him with the Twins as well. In the home opener on April 6th, Damian Easley hit what would have been a ball played off the plexiglass has it not been removed during the offseason. Cole, playing left field, lazily drifted back short of the warning track when he suddenly realized that the ball was going to be further back than he thought. He scrambled to make an attempt on the ball but it dropped harmlessly into newly unguarded first row of seats. On April 17th, Cole lost two balls in the sun at Oakland resulting in three runs in a 5-1 loss to the A's. A few days later, however, on April 24th the misfortune turned: Cole hit is first home run of his career, a towering shot over the wall in centerfield at the Skydome, ending a 1,317 major league at-bat drought (in comparison, Jason Tyner had to wait only 1,220 at-bats for his first). This home run would be often sited as an example during the juiced-ball accusations of that summer. "When Alex Cole hits one, you've got to take it into consideration," Twins pitcher Kevin Tapani told the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. Cole would go on to hit 3 more home runs that season.
What can be said of Cole was that with every contribution he made offensively and on the basepaths to scoring a run was negated by his defensive ineptitude. At the plate, Cole finished hitting .296/.375/.403 with 4 home runs and 23 rbis. He led the team in triples (5) and walks (44) His splits were terrible in 1994. The left-handed hitting Cole hit righties well batting .327/.399/.451 but was a lethargic .104/.232/.104 in 56 plate appearances against lefties. While carrying a 2.49 range factor (when the league average was 2.09), his .969 fielding percentage (when the league average was .982) overshadowed his ability to cover ground. His mental lapses worried the front office and new GM Terry Ryan. Cole was a restricted free agent but was an uncertainty in the offseason because new policies being discussed during the strike could make him available on the open market.
Prior to the beginning of the 1995 season, Terry Ryan allowed outfield fixture Shane Mack to leave for Japan. Mack, who had led the team with a .333/.402/.564 line in 1994 but had began the season on the disabled list, was expected to command a hefty salary and the finite resources would be allocated in retaining Chuck Knoblauch. It was believed internally that Pedro Munoz and Alex Cole along with Marty Cordova and Rich Becker could easily supplant Mack's production at a much lower cost. On April 6th, 1995, Ryan resigned Cole to a one-year, $500,000 contract. With Cole and Chuck Knoblauch hitting 1-2 with Puckett, Munoz and Cordova following them the Twins felt they had a semi-dangerous line-up. So long as Cole and Knoblauch were on base, there was always the possibility of scoring runs.
From the belated season start on April 26th to May 30th, the decision to retain Cole was looking ingenious. He was batting .360/.422/.493 while adding 6 extra base hits in 75 at-bats. This allowed for one additional season of growth for Rich Becker in triple-A Salt Lake. Defensively, Cole suffered the same ailments as he did in 1994. On May 3rd against the visiting Royals, Cole lost yet another fly ball in the Dome's ceiling and then ended up throwing the ball into the infield to no one in particular. Two runs scored on that play.
Unfortunately, Cole's resurgence as a professional player was up-ended when he broke his leg fielding a base hit. On May 30th playing at Milwaukee's County Stadium, Fernando Vina hit what should have been a routine base hit in the bottom of the 8th inning. Cole, stopping to play the ball on a bounce, snapped his right leg and buckled. The diagnoses was a broken leg. Even though Cole would return for several games in September and play 24 games with Boston the following year, his career was effectively over.
In addition to resigning Cole, the Twins employed the right-handed batting 31-year-old Jerald Clark to offset the void created when left-handed pitching was on the mound. Signed to a minor-league contract on March 6th, Clark had played the 1994 season with the Yakult Caneries in Japan. Initally, Clark was brought on to complete for the recent vacancy at first base as well as left field. In 109 at-bats, Clark showed pop as he batted .339/.354/.550 with 3 home runs and 15 rbis. But he was far from a patient hitter. Through May 16th Clark had 40 at-bats and no walks. Left with no other viable platoon options, Clark would go on to play center in 10 of his 23 games with the Twins. He might have been one of the more astute players on the roster, describing the Metrodome to a Rocky Mountain News reporter: "It's got different acoustics," Clark said "Its got a different smell, too, if you care to notice."
As Clark will also learn, it has a different background too, then say, the sky. Like Cole, Clark turned plenty of balls hit to center into adventures. On May 19th, with Ken Griffey Jr at the plate and Clark manning center at the Metrodome, Griffey hit a towering fly ball that sent Clark sprinting back to the warning track. Only the flyball fell way short of the track in shallow center resulting in an rbi double for Griffey.
With Cole about to be out for the majority of the season with the broken leg and Tom Kelly not ready to allow Jerald Clark to be the full-time centerfielder, Terry Ryan made an emergency recall of Rich Becker from triple-A. Becker, who was drafted by the Twins in the 3rd round of the 1990 amatuer draft, had seen sporadic major league time in 1993 and 1994. He developed well in the minors: in high-A Visalia, he hit .316/.442/.486 with 15 home runs. At double-A Nashville in 1993, Becker hit .287/.397/.450 with 15 home runs again (a strikingly similar season to that of Carlos Gomez's .285/.350/.423 while with Binghampton). This performance earned him a September call up in 1993 and the opportunity to vie for the starting centerfielder position in spring training in 1994. The scouts took note of his hustle, his uniform was always dirty. In fact one Twins scout, Don Cassidy, told the Pioneer Press after seeing Becker play in Kenosha that "Rich Becker will be our starting center fielder one day. He's got all the tools; reminds me of (Philadelphia's) Lenny Dykstra." But Becker suffered from on-going knee problems. In September 1993 he torn some cartiledge that required surgery on his knee. The following April, Becker strained a ligament sliding into home.
After being assigned to the Pacific Coast League in spring training, the 23-year-old Becker had been hitting well at Salt Lake, through 36 games he was batting .309/.430/.512. He was fleet of foot and covered ground as indicated by his 2.73 range factor (lgRF 1.99), though he too was a blooper reel stemming from youth and inexperience. On July 29th, he lost a fly ball in the Dome's roof as the bases loaded with Yankees costing the Twins the game (although, Matt Walbeck failed to cover home in the 7th that led to another run as well). On September 5th, Becker allowed a groundball to skip through his legs allowing CECIL FIELDER to score from 1st. A little over a week later he misplayed a Lance Johnson flyball for a triple. In spite of this, Becker proved to be much more reliable with the glove in center than Cole or Clark.
Becker's bat was his biggest detriment. From May 31st on, Becker hit a paltry .237/.303/.296. He struck out in over 21% of his plate appearances and coaxed walks in only 7%. His plate approached proved so poorly that in August the Twins decided to send Becker to the Florida Instructional League with the rest of the rookies to have him rediscover his swing and phase out his switch hitting (by 1997 he was strictly a left-handed batter).
In all, 1995 was right near the sharp bottom of the Twins decline. Fans stayed away from the Metrodome in droves. Only 1.05 million people entered the downtown stadium as the Twins finished last in attendance in the American League (even being outdrawn by Milwaukee). The team followed suit and finished 5th in the newly created AL Central, a whopping 44 games behind the front-running Cleveland Indians. In what was Kirby's last professional season he hit .314/.379/.515 with 23 home runs, earning yet another berth the All-Star game. Puckett led the team in extra base hits (62) and rbis (99). But at 35, Puckett was slowing down even by corner outfield standards where he had a low 1.86 range factor (1.99 league range factor). Had 1995 not been Puckett's swansong and would have been able to come back for the 1996 season, he would have been best suited for designated hitter.
The 1996 season did not go according to plan. In what was Terry Ryan's first full season to prepare for, he signed Greg Myers and Paul Molitor with the assumption that the pitching prospects like Brad Radke, Frankie Rodriguez and Latroy Hawkins would emerge has front line starters. Tragically, Puckett had to bow out of baseball after glacoma appeared in late spring. Throughout the season Molitor, Marty Cordova and Chuck Knoblauch all played well but only Rick Aguilera could produce a winning record (8-6) in his 19 starts. Fans began to reappear as the Dome was visited 1.4 million times, good enough for 11th best out of 14 American League clubs. In the first full season back from the strike, Becker was in a battle with double-A sensation Matt Lawton and recently acquired Roberto Kelly as a backup insurance policy. With good reason too. Becker started the season 3-43 (.070 ba), hitless in 23 at-bats, finally batted through and finished the season as his best totals as a professional. He finished .291/.372/.434 with 12 home runs but struck out in nearly 20% of his at-bats. His 1997 season emulated his 1995 season and the Twins decided to give up on him. On December 12th, 1997, the Twins traded Becker to the New York Mets for Alex Ochoa.

First it was the Photo Friday challenge asking for mood and then came the WordPress weekly photo challenge asking for happy.
What's a girl to do?
So here you are: My "stooopid cats" as
my children some people in my family like to call them.
Really it's not my fault. (Actually it is, but it sounds better blaming the kids.)
I started off with one of these Staffordshire cats – I think the one on the left – because it made me happy to look at it.
Then I found another and I was perfectly happy with these two on the floor by the fire place for about 20 years.
Then last year K called form a vintage shop to tell me of another one. I said "no"…it ended up here anyway. Then C's boyfriend Bryson decided he's going to find all the big white cats he can and now there are five.
They come and go depending on my mood and if I need a change in the house, but overall they make me happy. And it makes me laugh to see my kids, (who are responsible for these stupid cats in the first place, remember?), shake their heads at this little bit of fun kitsch in my exquisitely stylish life…ehm.
And there's no harm in that. 🙂

An investment strategy is what guides an investor's decisions based on goals, risk tolerance, and future needs for capital. Some investment strategies seek rapid growth where an investor focuses on capital appreciation, or they can follow a low-risk strategy where the focus is on wealth protection.
Diversifying your portfolio is important to manage your risk. What does diversification mean? It means spreading your risk between investments with different characteristics, so that if one investment, or group of investments doesn't perform well it doesn't do too much damage to the overall performance of your portfolio.
For example, it is unwise for your portfolio to be invested in only one or two companies: should one of those companies fail, you could lose a very large part of your available capital, which it would be hard to recover from.
There are various ways you can diversify your portfolio. Most obviously by investing in several companies. Another consideration, however, is geographical diversification, i.e. not having all your investments linked to the economic performance of one country or region. A common failing of investors is "home country bias", i.e. focusing your investments on companies operating in the country you live in or are most familiar with. Should that country underperform economically (or if shares in that country's markets appear overpriced), that will damage your returns, so it makes sense to include investments that are exposed to a variety of regions in your portfolio (biasing towards those that appear to offer the best prospective returns).

Wayland to host Church MusiConference in July
PLAINVIEW - Leading music programs in churches may seem like an easy undertaking, but there are more challenges than many people realize. Offering varied programs and age-appropriate activities can be difficult at times.
The Church MusiConference West hopes to alleviate some of those challenges, offering workshop sessions for music programs aimed at specific audiences. Slated for July 25-26 at Wayland Baptist University in Plainview, the conference is aimed at ministers of music, youth and children's choir directors, accompanists and other music leaders in the church.
"This year's conference continues the tradition of years of BGCT-sponsored training conferences, where local music leaders can receive training from expert church musicians in practical, non-threatening, quick-moving classes," said Robert Black, assistant professor of music at Wayland and the organizer of the event. "Six one-hour-and fifteen-minute classes, reading sessions, exhibits, networking opportunities with fellow church musicians, and a banquet are packed into one weekend - and the price has been cut to only $50."
Using a theme from Psalm 150, "Let everything. Praise the Lord," the MusiConference will offer seminars on music ministry for children, bivocational music ministers, media technicians and leaders of instrumental programs like keyboards and handbells. In addition, special interest workshops will focus on topics including using drama in worship; using technology in music ministry; fun song class; successful youth choir ideas; reading sessions of the best from all publishers and a Minister of Music roundtable.
The conference begins at 1 p.m. on Friday, July 25 and concludes around 4 p.m. on Saturday, July 26. Cost is $50 per person, which covers registration and a special Friday night banquet. Reading packets are $12 per person.
For more information, contact Black at (806) 291-1067 or Dan Turner, (806) 935-3176 or (806) 930-4411. Registration is due by July 16.

The Texas Health Literacy conference, held annually in San Antonio, has grown to be the largest one of its kind in the state. This year, October 2nd marked the 11th conference. It is attended by healthcare administrators, clinicians, social workers, pharmacists, health educators, nurses, and community members interested in health literacy.
Health Literacy is commonly defined as the ability to obtain, process, and understand basic health information and services to make appropriate health decisions. According to the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services, only 12% of U.S. adults are considered to be proficient in health literacy.
Briscoe staff librarians Emme Lopez (pictured) and Peg Seger presented posters on Superfoods: The Health Behind the Headlines and Expanding the Limits of Outreach Education and Collaboration. An exhibit table with consumer health information resources from the National Library of Medicine was staffed by Patrick Lemelle, Library Outreach Assistant.

State looks at delaying portion of Zoo Interchange construction
State transportation officials released a new plan Monday to delay reconstruction work on southeastern Wisconsin's freeways and scale back road aid to local governments in hopes of closing a looming deficit in the state's transportation fund.
The fund is the state's major source of money for highway improvements and maintenance, aid to local governments for road work, the State Patrol and the Division of Motor Vehicles. Republican Gov. Scott Walker's 2013-15 executive transportation budget estimated the fund would finish fiscal year 2015 with a $12.6 million deficit.
But the nonpartisan Legislative Fiscal Bureau released projections late last week that show a $63.5 million shortfall in the fund on June 30, 2015, thanks largely to dwindling gas tax revenue. The state Department of Transportation, a Walker cabinet agency, put out the new plan a day before the Legislature's powerful finance committee was scheduled to review the governor's transportation budget. DOT spokeswoman Peg Schmitt said the plan is meant as a guide for lawmakers as they grapple with the deficit.
Rep. John Nygren, R-Marinette, one of the committee's two co-chairs, said the suggestions look reasonable but acknowledged the state must find more stable ways to fund road building as more people turn to fuel-efficient vehicles and the gas tax dries up.
"We're dealing with it by prioritizing," Nygren said. "Within the environment in which we're living, it's the best possible scenario."
The plan calls for saving $19 million by pushing back funding an Interstate 94 interchange upgrade at Ryan Road until the next budget. The interchange reconstruction is part of a larger multi-year project to upgrade the interstate between Milwaukee and the Illinois border.
The agency also wants to delay reconstruction work on a portion of Milwaukee's Zoo Interchange, saving $14 million; cut $7.3 million from a program that funds major highway projects in the first year of the budget but restore it in the second; cut $4.3 million from road aid for local governments in year one and restore it in year two; reduce funding for a Milwaukee-to-Chicago Amtrak passenger rail line by $1.1 million across the two-year spending plan; and cut $900,000 from a program designed to reduce congestion.
